Swisscom launches DVB-H trial

Between now and the end of the year Swisscom Broadcast and Swisscom Mobile will be carrying out a technical trial of the new digital standard DVB-H (digital video broadcasting-handheld), reports DMeurope.

"Around 100 people are testing the mobile television technology. Over a three-month period, the test participants will have access to some 26 different television channels and basic interactive services on a Nokia 7710 smart-phone.

This is the first technical DVB-H trial in Switzerland. To date, the only comparable trials in Europe have been in Berlin and Helsinki. The DVB-H standard has also been undergoing trials in Italy, France, the United Kingdom and Spain since September 2005. "
